Steps:
- Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
- Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
- Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
- Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
- Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Mix up your tuna, pickle relish, horsey sauce, spices, onion and green onion, lime or lemon juice....taste and see if you need more salt and pepper. ---- I wanted this spicy so I added 4 tbsp of horsey at least. This is all estimate cause I made it for the first time tonight. I LOVE horseradish! It's good for you too.
- 2. Butter your bread and then sprinkle on your Parmesan and pat it down into the butter. Assemble your sandwich with a little sharp cheddar first, then your tuna mix and then more cheddar...top with other slice of bread.
- 3. I cooked this up in my Ninja Cooking System but it could easily be pan fried or on the griddle too. The Parmesan give this an incredible crunchy crust...so good.
- 4. Cook 3 - 5 minutes on each side with a medium heat. If you want add a little oil to pan if you think that the butter isn't enough.
- 5. Slice up and serve with a yummy salad or some yummy fresh veggies, salad, chips or dill pickles....just delish.
